Guess who's back in the sights of investigators? Following a theft of sports memorabilia at Palace Station Casino, law enforcement confirmed that they interrogated OJ Simpson in connection to the crime:

Metro police confirmed early Friday morning that O.J. Simpson was questioned in connection to a theft at the Palace Station Casino.

Police spokesman Jose Montoya said Simpson was questioned about a hotel room break-in at the casino late Thursday night. Montoya said the theft involved sports memorabilia, but offered no further details.

Police said Simpson has been released and is believed to be in Las Vegas.

Palace Station is a second-tier casino, but a good place to stay anonymous and gamble lightly. I'd say that it's a good place to stay out of trouble, but OJ can't manage to do even that much. And besides, he owes Fred Goldman $33 million -- what's he doing at a casino?

Questioning OJ is a waste of time! The guy knows how to feel people. He just has to talk.

Meanwhile, as far as I'm concerned, Obama, even with Oprah's support, a way too late to collect a presidency on the affirmative action crowd's behaviors. Here? A good reminder of what ya got for ya money from the OJ jurors.

To OJ? Well, his name's in the paper.

Reminds me. Walter Winchell used to get sued a lot. And, he used to say, "... as long as they keep suing." He got his name out in front of the people, pretty free of charge.

Who made "sports memorabilia" into this big deal, anyway? All looks like junk ta me.

Betcha he's there selling autographs for $75 a pop, hoping that Fred Goldman won't winkle to the fact and take the proceeds away from him.

I keep wondering how that black LA jury that acquitted him feel watching him bop through what's left of his life. I sincerely hope they each and every one of them feel as stupid and foolish as I think they are, and that when OJ is mugged by reality like he is being now, they're also embarrassed that they are responsible for his freedom.

You know what stinks about this case other than we are being bombarded with OJ crap again is this. Along with OJ, 5 men reportedly entered the room, two of which were armed and stated they were police officers. Two scenarios. Either they were falsely representing themselves, which I would think real cops wouldn't take to kindly to and should immediately place them under arrest, or they WERE REAL police officers who OJ happened to recruit for his "personal sting" operation. The latter would explain the lack of arrests in this case and we may see 'reprimands' and, or, suspensions of a couple of Vegas cops shortly. Either way it stinks, it really stinks.

I traded my sports card habit for comic books and action figures YEARS ago, but i still keep in touch with some people in the business. Scuttlebutt is that OJ signs autographs at shows for CASH, then tells the Goldman's he's broke or something :-/

Ensign Calls For Return Of MoveOn Money

NRSC chair Senator John Ensign calls for Democrats to return all campaign funds donated by MoveOn, after their despicable New York Times ad today accusing David Petraeus of treason. "If Senate Democrats are serious about moving our country forward, they will denounce this outrageous ad and return the campaign funds MoveOn.org has lavished on them as well as the donations made through MoveOn.org -- the choice is theirs." Ensign's right, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the refund ...

Support The Al-Dura Petition

Roger Simon at Pajamas Media is circulating a petition to demand accountability for the discredited al-Dura report from France's Channel 2. This is, as Roger calls it, the "Father of all Fauxtography," and C-2 has never acknowledged its fault in airing the supposed murder of a Palestinian child. He wants C-2 to show all of the unedited footage of the incident in order to show that C-2 faked the murder. If they're resisting the demand, I'd say they have something to hide ....

There Goes The Undefeated Season

Notre Dame managed to get its first loss out of the way as soon as possible -- and as badly as possible. Georgia Tech came to South Bend and stomped the Irish, 33-3, in the worst home opener loss in school history. The offense fumbled twice and allowed seven sacks on Evan Sharpley, who must have longed to have Brady Quinn back on the field instead. If Charlie Weis doesn't turn this debacle around fast, he may want to start asking Ty Willingham for some career counseling ....

Would Early Primaries Allow More Donations?

Jim Geraghty at The Campaign Spot believes that candidates will benefit if primaries and caucuses get pushed into 2007. A loophole in campaign finance regulation appears to allow an extra $2,300 per donor for candidates if those elections are held this year. Be sure to check out Jim's analysis, and the surprising candidate that may benefit the most.

When Tom Met Jeralyn

One of the interesting aspects of politics is finding out that opponents are people, too. Jeralyn Merritt of TalkLeft met Rep. Tom Tancredo backstage at NBC's studios, and found him more likable than she had anticipated. Perhaps it was their mutual interest in Dog, The Bounty Hunter ...

Joe Lieberman A Right-Wing Nut?

That's what CAIR says, according to Joe Kaufman. He has a link to a CAIR official's blog post that calls Lieberman, along with John Bolton, former CIA director James Woolsey, and the Heritage Foundation's Peter Brookes as "extremists". Affad Shaikh also calls Dick Cheney a "fat bastard of a liar," apparently not meant as a pop-culture reference to the Austin Powers movies. (via Let Freedom Ring)

Broadband Homelessness

The Japanese have made homelessness more efficient, and more Net-friendly, too. Their Internet cafés have become homeless shelters for the struggling manual-labor sector. The problem has grown into such a problem that government intervention will shortly become a political priority.

Found My Law Firm

Power Line linkstwice to this story regarding an attorney at Faegre & Benson who refused to become a victim and helped capture a very dangerous man. Keith Radtke is a partner in the firm as is Power Line's John Hinderaker. Radtke is listed in satisfactory condition after getting shot in the back, but that didn't keep him from locking up his attacker in a wrestling grip until police could arrive. I don't know about you, but that's the kind of man I'd want as my counsel ....

Don't Click That YouTube E-mail

The latest in spam seems to be redirections from YouTube links in e-mail to IP addresses without domain names. They attempt to entice people by making it seem that they have been inadvertently YouTubed. I'm sure most people can see through this scam, but just in case, you've been warned ....

Rick Moran Escapes The Floods

Rick Moran has kept us up to date on his travails along the Algonquin River. Yesterday, the police showed up to get him evacuated before the river flooded his home -- but today, Rick finds that a minor miracle has taken place, and that his house survives ... at least for now. Keep Rick in your prayers, and keep checking in at Right Wing Nut House for updates.

Rule 1: Drag The Corpse On Over First

If I've learned anything in four years of blogging, don't try to be out in front of the death rumors, especially with the villains of the world. Saddam died a hundred deaths before we caught him alive in his spider hole, and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi almost as many before his demise last year. Osama may or may not be alive, but everyone's avoided speculating on his fate for a while now. Maybe Val at Babalu Blog will get luckier with his "Castro Is Dead" story. We all hope so. I'll wait for the announcement ....

No Such Thing As 'Moderate' Islam?

Turkish PM Tayyip Erdogan told a television interviewer that he finds the label "moderate Islam" offensive. Shrink Wrapped has a lot more on this, but at least in the same interview Erdogan acknowledged that "radical Islam" exists, and that it's been a catastrophe. Be sure to read the whole post.
